Spittal an Drau, Austria

I had a wonderful tour in Europe, with more posts to follow as I get photos and time. This concert venue was a 500 year old cavern beneath a municipal hall in Spittal an Drau, Austria.

I performed in Tricesimo, Italy, at a fine festival called “Madame Guitare,” where I was interviewed afterwards by journalist Andrea Carpi for Italy’s leading guitar magazine, “Chitarre.” If your Italian is good enough, you can take a stab at reading the interview/article, or at least look at the pictures, here. It’s in the February 2009 […]
